Abstract

Thus far, solders used in electronics remain lead-based. Pb-free solutions in electronic components and systems are receiving increased attention in the semiconductor and electronics industries. Pb-free materials currently in used are Sn-37Pb, Sn-4Ag and Sn-4Ag-0.5Cu/Ni plate joints. In this study, solder alloys were used at high temperatures for artificial aging processing that was performed at $150^{\circ}C$ for 0hr, 100hr, 200hr, 400hr, 600hr and 1000hr. The SP test was conducted at $30^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$. As a result, the maximum shear strength of all the specimens decreased with the increase in artificial aging time and temperature of the SP test. In addition, Pb-free solders showed higher total fracture energy compared with Sn-37Pb at high temperatures. The mechanical properties of Sn-4Ag-0.5Cu solder/Ni plate joints remained in excellent conditions in electronic parking systems at high temperatures.

최근까지, 전자제품에 사용되는 솔더는 납성분이 남아 있으며, 전자부품 및 시스템의 무연 (Pb-free) 솔더에 대한 관심은 반도체 및 전자산업에서 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서 사용된 솔더접합부는 Sn-37Pb, Sn-4Ag 및 Sn-4Ag-0.5Cu/Ni 기판 이다. 인공시효처리는 $150^{\circ}C$에서 각각 0hr, 100hr, 200hr, 400hr, 600hr 그리고 1000hr 동안 수행되었으며, SP 시험을 이용해 $30^{\circ}C$와 $50^{\circ}C$에서 접합강도를 평가했다. 전단강도는 인공시효시간과 온도가 증가함에 따라 전반적으로 감소하였다. 무연솔더는 Sn-37Pb 보다 총파괴 에너지가 높았으며, Sn-4Ag-0.5Cu/Ni 접합부는 고온에서 기계적 물성치가 가장 우수하였다.
